Gotta wonder why so many British fighters are getting cut in sparring recently.

Billy should be pushing for it judging by how confident he is.

Agreed Murray was at light Welter his last fight wouldn't like to see that one. I hope Ronnie gets it but if not I would be happy with Maxi Hughes or Gary Sykes. I'm sure a lot of fighters would jump at the chance.

Yes maybe not but a fight like that sounds better than Crolla any day of the week. No doubt it will be a Eastern European. No matter if Ronnie gets the fight or not I hope John gets an opponent

Its got to b a decent opponent as simpson is chief support. Imo crolla simpson was only made after the injury to simmons to boost the bill. Still no news on who wadi is facing either. How bout a camp double wadi v chris keane and simpson v troy james wat u @boxingcutsman

It will be interesting to see any changes / who will be matched up.

Billy - would you recommend Simpson to fight Clark ?

Some of the Argentinians on the Matchroom bills lately have been pretty poor.

How many rounds Billy, John will have the speed on Murray for a few rounds but it will get harder the longer it goes, take it that its an 8 or 10 round fight?

I'd like to think 10 or 12 two championship level fighters so you'd expect that wouldnt you

In what respect? Two ex British champions who both won belts outright and Murray's also fought Rios at the highest level

Simpson has more chance v Murray than v Crolla though Murray is a big tough man at the weight.

Next we will hear is Murray is a small lightweight as well. Better fight?? Crolla lacked power so people thought Simpson had a chance.. Murray has proper power!! People thought the Coyle fight looked good. It was a mismatch. I don't like this fight. Even less than the Crolla fight. I hope I'm wrong but only way I see this going is a stoppage for Murray
